CREATE A SUNNY DISPOSITION WITH PAINT

One of Pantone's 10 select hues for Spring 2013 is Lemon
Zest 13-00756. It's not intense; it's a softer shade of yellow - like the color
of the sun on a warm Fall afternoon. I used two interpretations: one in a bath, the
other in a bedroom. Translated to paint colors, I used Benjamin Moore’s
Goldtone and Suntan Yellow.

GOLDTONE - YOU CAN'T HELP BUT SMILE

The emotional impact of the Goldtone in the bedroom is the
essence of creating a “sunny disposition”. No matter what time of day, or what
the weather outside, the warm tone of the space elicits feelings of pleasure
and contentment.

The bath is an awkward shoe box shape. Using two shades of
Lemon Zest interpreted into Benjamin Moore’s Suntan Yellow on two adjacent
walls and Goldtone on the opposite adjacent walls as well as on the tray ceiling
visually changed the shape of the room to one that’s more appealing. The warm
yellow hues complement skin tones, making the owners’ first morning view of themselves reflected in the mirror easier on the eye.

BEFORE PAINTING

Not only are these colors predicted for Spring 2013, they
are perfect expressions of Fall. If you’re going to fall for a color for Fall,
these are a great ones with applications for any room in your home.

Today’s interior design experience is modern, approachable, and interesting. It’s an accumulation of meaningful experiences with a depth of understanding of the end product, resulting in engaging and functional interior design schemes that reflect the unique needs and lifestyles of clients. Modern Interior Design is an authentic lifestyle concept with design schemes that are honest and reflect client aesthetics.

The new model of Interior Designer is that of editor and curator of what I term the culture of designthat combines all available resources and involves the client in every aspect of the design process. It’s true collaboration.

Total Renovation

A sense of drama and anticipation is created the moment one walks through the front door into the long gallery.

The entry gallery is a low light level space. From the static space of the entry, one enters the dynamic space of the living area illuminated by a flood of natural light. Due to the interior architecture of the space, the long hall opens into the middle of the living space which runs perpendicular. One cannot fully comprehend the volume of the space which is more fully dramatized by moving from relative dimness to brightness and vast openness.

The spatial progression along the series of spaces is guided by the alternating size of the spaces, light level, and perceived ceiling height. The process is reversed moving from the living space into the private areas of the master suite and guest rooms on opposite sides of the entry gallery where darker, more restful colorations are employed.

The overall color palette, weaves a cohesive scheme throughout the apartment. Despite its grand size, I wanted colors to flow rather than compete.
